Cornwall…
A long and busy day, but none the less a cracking one back in the lovely company of Geoff and Carol in Tregadillett for work on their fairly recent acquisition of a TF 160 (in HFN).
When we were last there in May working on their MGF ‘Rosie’ Geoff asked us to check over the car that he had picked up from the Isle of Wight as he was aware of of some issues, one of which was a coolant leak and the service history was sketchy at best.
Head gasket replacement and cambelt service carried out along with all other service parts, plus alternator belt, new expansion tank cap. Underfloor coolant pipes replaced with stainless, as the ones on it were looking a bit ropey.
Geoff had also treated the car to a brand new roof on a new frame, plus some new heater dials and gear gaiter and surround in chrome.
The car will be going in for some bodywork and Geoff will then be painting up the calipers and cleaning up the headlights.
It’s great that he’s invested in the car, which he was initially a little unsure of, it’s looking transformed already and sounds a very quiet VVC engine.
The rain held off until the end, thankfully. A plentiful supply of tea and biscuits all day, which was most welcome, thank you Geoff. Great to see you both again and look forward to seeing you up in Yorkshire!
Back at our beautiful digs, and Jon’s fed the ducks, who were pleased to see us return! 🦆 – https://ift.tt/2wczGvC
